CMPSCI5A . Conrad P T 3 Months Ago

Prof Conrad is nice, engaging, and makes lecture fun. In lecture you learn how to code and then apply that in weekly labs. There is also lots of extra credit. The labs also incorporate ChatGPT which is nice. You will probably have to meet with the ULAs because some questions are very tricky. Midterm and final are group project labs. Great course!

CS156 . Conrad P T 6 Months Ago

He's nice, but the class sucks, and he's not doing it any favors. The group projects are poorly organized and I learned very little despite putting in lots of effort. He micromanages and generally makes the class feel like something from high school. Avoid CS156 unless you miss feeling like a 15-year-old taking your first AP.

CS156 . Conrad P T 7 Months Ago

Conrad is a nice guy. I guess that's why he has a high rating. He and his teaching team sucks. He creates projects that require a high level of participation from he and his TAs (reviewing PRs, responding to many different group questions), and then does not attend to these responsibilities. Bad planner, bad at supporting students. Bad class.

Took his online course for CMPSC 8 and had a great time. He's funny and cares about students

CMPSC16 . Conrad P T 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

One of the few professors I'd rate 5/5. Took CS16 and he was absolutely amazing at helping students get situated into complicated computer science concepts. Funny, lectures broken down to ELI5 language, class pace was definitely doable, and incredibly knowledgeable. The labs were easy and ZyBook was a phenomenal online textbook used for the class.
